John 14:2-31

2In My Father’s house are many 1rooms; if that were not so, 2I would have told you, because 3I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, 4I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that 5where I am, there you also will be. 4And you know the way where I am going.” 56Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how do we know the way?” 6Jesus said to him, “I am 7the way, and 8the truth, and 9the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. 710If you 11had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you 12know Him, and have 13seen Him.”

814Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with 15you for so long a time, and yet 16you have not come to know Me, Philip? 17The one who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Do you not believe that 18I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? 19The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own, but the Father, as He remains in Me, does His works. 11Believe Me that 20I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise 21believe because of the works themselves. 12Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and 22greater works than these he will do; because 23I am going to the Father. 13And 24whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that 25the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If you ask Me anything 26in My name, I will do it.

15“27If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16I will ask the Father, and He will give you another 2829Helper, so that He may be with you forever; 17the Helper is 30the Spirit of truth, 31whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you.

18“I will not leave you as orphans; 32I am coming to you. 193334After a little while, 35the world no longer is going to see Me, but you are going to see Me; 36because I live, you also will live. 2037On that day you will know that 38I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you. 2139The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and 40the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will 41reveal Myself to him.” 2242Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, what has happened 43that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23Jesus answered and said to him, “44If anyone loves Me, he will 45follow My word; and 46My Father will love him, and We 47will come to him and make Our dwelling with him. 24The one who does not love Me 48does not follow My words; and 49the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

25“These things I have spoken to you while remaining with you. 26But the 50Helper, the Holy Spirit 51whom the Father will send in My name, 52He will teach you all things, and 53remind you of all that I said to you. 2754Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. 5556Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor 57fearful. 2858You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and 59I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced 60because 61I am going to the Father, for 62the Father is greater than I. 29And now 63I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. 30I will not speak much more with you, for 64the ruler of the world is coming, and he has 65nothing in regard to Me, 31but so that the world may know that I love the Father, 66I do exactly as 67the Father commanded Me. Get up, 68let’s go from here.
